In our shop sis im the first foreign workers they have and second my pinay workmate.Its just a family business run by a couple and on its 4 years of running now. They are obviously new to having a foreign workers. But they never raise an issue regarding that matter or our status. Even my maternity leaveWhen my workmate applied her ilr she even asked our employer to write a letter for her which she included in the application documents.
Hope so sis, but im sure u will be alright.
